Immanuel Insurance had a simple start in 1981 being located in the basement of the founder's home David Blidberg in Barrington NH. In 1982 David Goodwin joined Immanuel and in 1984 purchased the agency. David continues to remain active working in the commercial department, overseeing sales & marketing and running the daily operations. In 1990 Barbara joined Immanuel and was appointed Vice President in 1991. Barbara works part time and remains active in commercial service and sales. In 1991 we joined the SAN/SIAA (Satellite Agency Network) to expand our insurance markets. SAN/SIAA has over 6+ billion in combined written premium, 6000+ members and is the largest insurance network in America. This network helps Immanuel develop stronger working relationships with our insurance companies enabling us to better serve our valued clients. Several of our goals have been: 1. Provide care & protection for the families & businesses of New Hampshire 2. Create personal friendly relationships with clients in order to truly know their needs and offer help. 3. To operate with integrity in all our relationships. 4. Have fun along the way!! Sounds simple, but with the way the world has changed, we don't do business with every client face to face like we did 30 years ago. So we do some things differently, like communicating through newsletters and Facebook and have become a part of local events where we hope to see many of our friends at the Peeperfest, Rochester Soup Kitchen, Gerry's Food Pantry, Dover's Mother's walk for Cancer and many more events. Hold us to the higher standard of service we strive for! We know you rely on us to protect your most valuable assets, including family, home, cars and businesses. Be sure to "like us on Facebook" so you can see what the Immanuel Insurance staff is "up to" and you can be a part of our family/community activities. If a local state of emergency developed we will post important information on our Facebook page regarding insurance issues and if able any additional available information regarding the emergency.

LIFE INSURANCE ISN'T FOR THE PEOPLE WHO DIE, IT'S FOR THE PEOPLE WHO LIVE.
When Michael Rausch was just one year old, his mom, Julie, was diagnosed with a malignant brain tumor. The news devastated his father, Bill, and severely affected the concrete business he and Julie ran together. Sadly, the company failed shortly before Julie's death. But the story doesn't end there. Life insurance meant Bill was able to restart the business and provide a secure and loving home for Michael. Are you prepared should the very worst happen? Without adequate life insurance, your financial plans may be just a saving and investment program that dies when you do. Are you prepared to help you family or spouse if you should die unrepentantly?
